Oh, right, a towel on your old bag strap.  Did your butler put that on for you?

Wasn't sure how else to describe it other than how it is, but yes the Butler did sort it.

Loadout I put together to compliment the M249 I painted for Kings of Airsoft.

First apocolyptic AK

Ignore the suppressor, it was all I had to hand as the customer didn't send the muzzle break. 

Another Tokyo Marui 416D 

Krytac LOVA, love how this turned out. Also my favorite photos 

Annnnnd another Tokyo Marui 416D. This one had seen better days paint wise so it was a case of trying to improve things and give it a new lease of life.

My first custom painted support weapon.

Do you play, or collector only ?

Haven't fired a shot in anger for years. Keep meaning to get back out there as my two boys are the perfect age. Plus I can hardly say I haven't the kit.

This one staying in my collection. G&G Firehawk with ARP9 stock and some random muzzle break I had. Took a bit of work to get the stock to fit but not too much.

For drawing, I'd highly recommend clip studio paint instead. It's far superior and more intuitive to work with than photoshop.

Is it free?

Very nice work GearTech

Also check out Krita

Its free and dedicated towards artists

I'll check that out, thanks

Been photoshopping for years now, just never in a professional capacity. Would love to though - just the odd beer-money gig here and there.

 

Interested in how you did this effect - looks a lot more effective than the usual Poster Edges / Threshold / Oil Painting technique.

 

That's the technique I used. Then refined each layer a little and added colours here and there

Anyone else enjoy playing around in photoshop? Been doing a lot of edits lately. Such a massive program, think I could mess on for years and still only scratch the surface. Purchasing a drawing tablet in April to see if I can reignite my love of drawing.

Finally picked up a TM MK46 Mod 0. Bit of fettling done prior to picking this up today.

 

Added a few external bits I picked up over the past few months:

 

Zenitco Klesch 2 Dual IR / LED

Zenitco Perst 4 PEQ

Zenitco brightness adjustment pads

FMA Gas pedal

G&G rechargeable tracer unit

Pulsar LRF Trail XP50

Standard Marui foregrip

 

Thing is an absolute beast, will be running bare bones during the day / full up for night action

 

It doesn't look that big on the table, then we see the pic of you holding it. Absolutely love it.

Probably my nicest paint job so far.

Very little, they are effectively the same thing.

 

The winner being governed by the bonus ball number drawn on TV in the national lottery, from a random number generator or pulling a ticket out.

All of these are a form of gambling with winner as a result of chance.

 

The other factor is how people are able to enter:

Is it a restricted audience due to the workplace, members club etc?

Is it open to the general public, but only within a specific event (location and date etc)?

What is the scale?

What legislation is applicable? (Even within the UK there are different acts on gambling depending on the constituent country.

Are the organisers licenced or registered?

Are entries / tickets sold?  Are they free but another cost is required, such as door entry?

 

A bonus ball/raffle on an Internet forum is unlikely to qualify.

Did quite a bit of reading up after your post last night. All a bit of a nightmare.

This would be seen as gambling and unless licenced or within specific criteria is likely to be illegal.

A prize competition would be legal, but it would be up to the forum admins/moderators as to whether it complied with forum rules 
Bonus ball lotteries don’t comply with prize competition requirements

Any idea then what the difference is between a bonus ball type giveaway and a raffle?

@GearTech No idea what a 'bonus ball' is but best to create a topic in the Off Topic section, Off-Topic Discussion.

Bonus ball - Numbers 1-100. People buy a number. Online app randomly generates a number, that person wins. T&C will apply. 

[Bonus Ball. Admin help]

I'm going to be doing a bonus ball in a couple of weeks for something I've just finished working on. Admins, am I OK to post a link to the details of the draw and if I am where is the best place for it?

This one turned out rather well. SRU 3D printed body kit on a G&g ARP9.
